At a Glance
A Mount Hope middle school where math scores have quadrupled and families say the school really listens.
Best suited for
Families who value strong parent-school communication, a wide range of extracurriculars, and a school that has clearly grown over time — and who are comfortable with below-average proficiency scores that mask real year-over-year gains.
Overall Rating
Rating = average of NY State ELA + math proficiency, grades 3–8
Bands are Motley's thresholds on a 0–100 scale, not New York State performance levels.
How this is scored→What stands out
- Math proficiency has more than quadrupled since 2016, climbing from 7.6% to 32.3% — one of the more striking improvement arcs in the district.
- 97% of parents say they trust the principal, among the strongest family-trust scores in the dataset.
- A program richness score of 90/100 brings Specialized High School test prep, Restorative Circles, Musical Theater, and a Saturday Academy to a school of fewer than 360 students.
- 25% of students are classified IEP, with ELL Support available — an inclusive setup that reflects the neighborhood's makeup.
- Grade 8 math proficiency hits 45.9%, showing that students who stay through the school arrive at competitive outcomes by graduation.
Things to consider
- ELA proficiency at 26% sits well below the district average and has been roughly flat for the past four years.
- Chronic absenteeism at 67% is a serious concern, even if daily attendance edges out the district average.
- Grade 6 students enter with particularly weak math skills (13.6% proficiency), so families should expect a slow academic start.
- The neighborhood's 31% poverty rate and very low homeownership reflect real economic pressure on families.
- The suspension rate of 1% is slightly higher than the district average, though the absolute number of suspensions is small.
Based on 2024-25 data
School SummaryDistrict 10
Within District 10, this school's overall score of 1.17/4 sits below the district average of 1.77/4, placing it on the lower end compared to listed peers like Ampark Neighborhood (71/100) and Cardinal McCloskey Charter (62/100). Its math trajectory, however, is one of the more compelling improvement stories in the district.
Academics
ELA proficiency at 26.1% sits about 19 points below the district average of 45%, and math at 32.3% trails the district's 43.5% by roughly 11 points. But the trajectory is the real story: math proficiency has more than quadrupled since 2016, and ELA has more than doubled, marking a sustained climb that few peers can match. Grade 8 math proficiency reaches 45.9% — close to the district average — showing that students who stay through the school make real academic gains by the time they leave.
Culture
Day-to-day life here feels close-knit and trusting: 95% of parents say they're satisfied, 97% trust the principal, and teachers rate instruction quality at 95% — well above the district's 91.4% average. Discipline is minimal, with just three suspensions last year, though the suspension rate of 1% is slightly above the district norm of 0.28%. The harder reality is chronic absenteeism at 67.2% — meaning two-thirds of students miss 10% or more of the school year — even though the daily attendance rate of 91.1% edges out the district average.
Community
The student body is 76% Hispanic and 23% Black, with one-quarter of students classified as IEP — a reflection of the school's inclusive, unscreened admissions and ELL Support programming. The school's demographics closely mirror the surrounding Mount Hope neighborhood, where most households rent, median income sits near $41,000, and just 15% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. This is a school deeply rooted in its community, serving multigenerational Bronx families.
Neighborhood
Mount Hope is a working-class, predominantly renter neighborhood where roughly 31% of households live below the poverty line and only about 4% of homes are owner-occupied. The area is densely built and family-rooted, with a median home value around $362,000 reflecting a market dominated by multi-family buildings rather than single-family owners. Public transit is how most families get around — the B and D lines run along the neighborhood's northern edge, putting Manhattan and the rest of the Bronx within reach.
The 182-183 Sts station on the B and D lines is about a five-minute walk, the 183 St stop on the 4 train is around nine minutes, and Fordham Rd on the B and D is roughly ten minutes on foot.
